ANAHEIM -- Edwin Encarnacion sat in the Indians' dugout, chugging water while teammate Trevor Bauer fanned the exhausted slugger with a towel. Encarnacion had just completed an unlikely trip around the bases on a fluke play, leading to an inside-the-park home run Monday night at Angel Stadium.
In the second inning, Encarnacion pulled a pitch from Angels right-hander JC Ramirez deep down the left-field line, where the ball struck a yellow portion of the wall's padding. Angels left fielder Justin Upton closed in fast on the ball, but it eluded his grasp and bounced back into the outfield, while Encarnacion hustled around the bases.
